We're getting married!

Danielle and Tim are a Covid relationship success story and met through online dating during the summer of 2020. Tim (a civil engineer) commented on Danielle's (a geologist) photo where she was wearing a shirt with a geology pun joke. She was hooked after he understood her nerdy geology pun! Their first meeting was a date for boba tea on July 23rd. They clicked right away and never looked back!

After two vacation trips were foiled by the pandemic, Tim planned a trip to Catalina Island off the coast of Los Angeles. Danielle had no idea that Tim planned to propose and visited her parents the night before the trip to request permission. TIm wanted to propose at the botanic garden in Avalon but Danielle was a bit too tired and ended up napping on Tim's lap before heading back to the hotel. Tim arranged for Danielle to have a massage and pedicure before dinner. They enjoyed some drinks on the rooftop deck of the hotel at sunset. There was another couple taking photos who never seemed to leave, so Tim asked Danielle to find something in their room so he could politely ask if they would mind giving us a private moment. When Danielle came back (not having found the requested item), Tim surprised her by kneeling on one knee and asking her to marry him. Danielle's initial response was "Oh my gosh, baby, of course!" Realizing she didn't properly say yes, a few minutes later she assured Tim the answer was a resounding Yes :)
